Nigeria’s universities may just be in for a looming strike as the leadership of the Non-teaching Staff of Universities have begun mobilisation of their members to begin a nationwide strike on Monday, July the 15th over alleged breach of agreements by the government.
They want the federal government to release N30 billion to the non teaching staff as earned allowance for the period of 2009 to 2016
SSANU President, Comrade Samson Ugwoke called on members to ensure full compliance with the directive in order to show its relevance to the university system.
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union say top on the list is the exclusion of its members from the workings of the National University Pension Company which according to them is solely operated by ASUU and the allocation of 80 percent of the money released by the federal government to ASUU while the three non academic staff unions got the remaining 20 percent.
